About the Campaign

Our Mission

We are…

A campaign that gives a voice to would-be first-time buyers.

We are an alliance of everyone who is angry about the high cost of housing in the UK, and the only campaign representing would-be first-time-buyers. We seek to work with like-minded people to bring about the changes we need.

We believe…

Housing across much of the UK has become unaffordable for ordinary people.

People should be able to buy a home of their own in order to avoid paying rent later in life. However, home-owners should not expect the price of their house to keep rising. An assumption under successive governments that rising house prices are a good thing has fuelled unsustainable speculation in the property market. As a result, artificially high house prices have priced ordinary people out of home-ownership.

More people stuck renting pushes up rents, making it harder to save a deposit to buy a house. This situation is increasing social inequality and increasing the burden on the state. Increasing access to large mortgages fails to fix the real problem and will cause house prices to rise even farther out of ordinary people’s reach.
